I favor a technique I was taught by a nursing student almost 30 years ago. You basically use the usual technique but each time the lace crosses another do it one extra time.

So first you wrap one lace around the other and pull it tight, well before you pull it tight wrap it around one more time. This helps hold the laces tight for the next step where you fold the laces and wrap them around each other. Do that a second time as well before you pull it fully tight.

Without video or illustration I suspect this is not easy to follow. Oh well.

Yes, I still use it and can confirm that I have had no concerns or problems with it. On the other hand, if I had to reinstall, without research, I'm not sure how I would reinstall it. Having alternatives is a good thing.

"When side effects happen is implementation-defined. In other words, it is up to the particular version of awk."

Don't make statements like this without more explanation. In what way is this happening to you specifically? What distribution and platform are you using? Did you explicitly install something to warn you about 'side-loading' executables?

It constantly reloads for me (Firefox.) Just hit X which replaces the reload button while the page is loading and it will stop.

My understanding is that there is a lot of very fine lunar dust and in the lower gravity even a small amount of static electricity on you means that you are quickly covered in the dust.

Oh, OK, I haven't really been paying much attention to Boing Boing for a while. Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by your question. Craphound is Cory Doctorow's website but he has long been a contributor to Boing Boing. Are you asking which website it appeared on first? I don't know, it is at least possible it was nearly simultaneous.

So, why does this device need such processing power? Can this really be cost effective?

Can you be more specific? I'm sure you realize that there is full modern UI support in any reasonably up to date Smalltalk implementation, it even includes mouse and keyboard input support. If you mean accessing data from the filesystem, yes that can be done as well. And guess what, there is even network support.

That said, if it comes down to more OS specific stuff, then yes, you may need to do more work. Squeak/Pharo very directly support loading external modules (platform specific code written specifically to a VM-specific API) as well as a reasonably competent FFI implementation. I have less knowledge of other implementations but I'm sure something similar is also available.

I think it must be clarified that only archived videos (often referred to as VODs) are affected by the copyright music detection. Live streaming is not affected in any way currently. This is relevant because viewing of VODs is quite rare on Twitch (I say this as someone who almost exclusively views VODs on Twitch so as to regain time control.) The Twitch streamers I'm aware of are not that bothered because they consider their streams ephemeral and aren't concerned by the archived copies. Any streamer who feels differently can save their content locally and upload to Youtube or other such service. Of course Youtube also has issues with copyrighted content.

Another disclaimer: I stream on Twitch occasionally and post much of my streamed content to Youtube.
